Why the NFL Has A QB Crisis
Interesting article in the Wall Street Journal today. Even though Memphis runs the spread, I just find it hard to believe that this is happening with all spread offense QBs. I would be shocked if Fuente wasn't preparing Lynch for the next level.

But I could be wrong. Thoughts?



This year, according to separate interviews with dozens of NFL coaches and executives, something disturbing happened in these pre-draft quiz sessions. When asked the same basic questions, many quarterback prospects responded with something NFL insiders said they have never seen before: blank stares...

Buffalo Bills general manager Doug Whaley said he had the same results when he asked prospects a question about defenses shifting from a common scheme called “cover 2” to an equally mundane tactic called “cover 3.” Hue Jackson, the offensive coordinator from the Bengals, said he had to dumb down his questions, while Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said some QBs failed to grasp things as basic as understanding a common play call. “You have to teach these kids the absolute basics,” he said.
